The other motivator for change is we are compelled by pain.

Sometimes people only change when the pain of staying like they are is too great.

Something's got to give. So we're inspired to change as positive motivation,

or we're compelled by pain. Pain may cause you to change, and then again, change doesn't always

mean progress, but how can you make sure it's a change for the better? Hello and welcome to another great day here on Destin for Victory,

where we feature the preaching ministry of Pastor Paul Shepard.

I'm sure you've heard this popular definition of insanity,

Now, let's give a listen to Pastor Paul's Destined for Victory Message,

turning pain into gain.

Pain is inevitable.

Number two, pain indicates that something has already changed, will soon change, or should intentionally change. Check that out. Pain when it comes, it indicates that something has already changed, will change or should intentionally change. What did

Jesus say? You will weep and lament. But later in that sentence he says, but your sorrow will be turned

into joy. So he is saying, yes, it's going to come, but it's going to result in a change.

If you want your pain to result in a positive change, you've got to take a look at it.

Because sometimes when you get the pain indicator, it means something has already changed.

Anybody ever been living your life doing fine physically?
